EMT ‘s and Paramedic’s

While most will quickly understand the fact that a Paramedic is of a higher rank and more advanced training than an EMT (Emergency Medical technician), many people are unaware of the difference in the skills possessed by the two professional levels.

What can a paramedic do that an EMT can not do?

An EMT can perform CPR, oxygen administration, artificial ventilations, basic airway management, spinal immobilization, vital signs as well as bandaging and splinting, and provide jump starts to a stilled heart using an AED (Automatic Defibrillator)

A Paramedic performs all the skills of an EMT, with the inclusion of the following; a Paramedic is able to perform advanced airway management such as endotracheal intubations, obtain electrocardiograph readings (EKGs) with the training and skills to treat arrhythmias, I.V. initiation, cardioversion, defibrillation, deliver pain and cardiac medications, just to name a very few advanced skills.

A Paramedic has the training and skills that are a lot more advanced than a basic EMT in many ways. Paramedics obtain the most sophisticated training in equipment, medications and invasive therapies.

However, without basic life support (CPR) for example provided to a cardiac patient by EMT’s a Paramedics intervention is useless a patient will become brain dead with out circulation and breathing maintenance.

The differences between an EMT and a Paramedic in training and skills, when it comes to salaries are most often below $30,000. Income ranges increase with dramatically between EMT’s and Paramedics who are employed by County run EMS agencies, Fire Department EMS Divisions, and Hospitals trauma centers that employ the two skilled levels. A large amount of EMS personnel all over the United States are volunteers a critical role especially in rural communities.

The true fact is that both EMT’s and Paramedics are a critical role to Emergency Services that also includes Police and Fire Services. EMS Medics provide vital life saving services that saves lives every day 365 days a year across America and many other Nations.

Heat is not often looked at as a major threat because it does not cause the destruction like tornadoes, floods, or hurricanes. Actually excessive heat causes many heath problems and deaths. They are more deadly than all other weather hazards, killing an average of 1,000 people per year in the U.S.

Heat Index Defined?

The Heat Index provides a way to estimate how warm the air feels to exposed skin. It includes the effects of both temperature and moisture.

The amount of moisture is important because evaporation of water from your skin and the resulting cooling of your body is less on humid days than on dry days.

Dew points measure how much water vapor is present in the atmosphere. For example, when the dew point is 70 degrees the atmosphere has more than twice as much water vapor than when the dew point is 50 degrees.

The Heat Indexwas designed for shaded areas. When you are in full sunshine, exposed skin can feel up to 15 degrees warmer than the current Heat Index value.

Some of the deadliest and most well-known heat waves in the U.S. - June-September 1980 heat wave in the central and eastern U.S. killed an estimated 1,750 people, including 1,250 in the city of St. Louis alone.

July 1995 Midwest heat wave killed nearly 600 people over a five-day period in Illinois, mainly in Chicago. Temperatures there reached 106 degrees on July 13 and did not fall below 80 degrees for two consecutive nights.

An EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH is issued 24 to 48 hours in advance, when possible. The watch is issued when the Heat Index will equal or exceed 105 degrees for 3 hours or more during the day, and remain at or above 80 degrees at night.

HEAT ADVISORY is issued about 24 hours in advance when the Heat Index will equal or exceed 105 degrees for at least 3 hours during the day, and remain at or above 80 degrees at night.

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING is issued about 24 hours in advance when the Heat Index will equal or exceed 115 degrees for 3 hours or more during the day, and remain at or above 80 degrees at night.

Always check with your local weather for local alerts

In Seattle’s system issues a Heat and Health Watch if daytime highs are expected to reach the 90s.

Signs of heat emergencies and treatments

Heat cramps: Muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. Although heat cramps are the least severe, they are an early signal that the body is having trouble with the heat. Heat cramps occur when the heat index is above 90 degrees.

Heat exhaustion: Get the person out of the heat and into a cooler place. Remove or loosen tight clothing and apply cool, wet cloths, such as towels or sheets. If the person is conscious, give cool water to drink. Make sure the person drinks slowly. Give a half glass of cool water every 15 minutes. Do not give liquids that contain alcohol or caffeine. Let the victim rest in a comfortable position, and watch carefully for changes in his or her condition.

Heat stroke:Heat stroke is a life-threatening situation. Help is needed call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number. Move the person to a cooler place. Quickly cool the body. Immerse victim in a cool bath, or wrap wet sheets around the body and fan it. Watch for signals of breathing problems. Keep the person lying down and continue to cool the body any way you can. If the victim refuses water or is vomiting or there are changes in the level of consciousness, do not give anything to eat or drink.

Precautions during hot weather

Slow down. Strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated, or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day, usually early-morning or in the evening. Individuals at risk should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.

Put less fuel on your inner fires. Foods (like proteins) that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.

Drink plenty of water or other nonalcoholic fluids and do not drink alcoholic beverages. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty. Persons who (1) have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease, (2) are on fluid restrictive diets, or (3) have a problem with fluid retention should consult a physician before increasing their consumption of fluids.

Do not take salt tablets unless specified by a physician. Persons on salt restrictive diets should consult a physician before increasing their salt intake.

Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, spending some time each day (during hot weather) in an air conditioned place like a movie theatre, mall or senior citizen center.

Don’t get too much sun. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult.

FLU Fact’s and Information

Influenza is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses of the same name.

The flu can result in illness ranging in severity from mild to life-threatening.

An estimated 10 percent to 20 percent of U.S. residents get the flu each year.

An average of 114,000 Americans will be hospitalized for flu-related complications each year.

Some 36,000 Americans die each year from flu complications.

What is Influenza (Flu)

How does the vaccine work?

The flu vaccine is an inactivated viral vaccine. This means that the viruses predicted to be predominant during the current season are grown in chicken eggs, harvested, and then killed through chemical means. The vaccine is then purified and tested for safety. When taken by humans, the vaccine stimulates the production of antibodies that fight off the viruses included in the vaccine.

How effective is it?

Influenza vaccine effectiveness varies from year to year, depending on the degree of similarity between the virus strains included in the vaccine and those circulating during the flu season. The vaccine can prevent symptoms of flu infection in up to 90 percent of healthy young adults, but its effectiveness can be as low as 30 percent among very elderly, frail persons.

Who should get the flu vaccine?

Influenza shots are recommended for anyone who wishes to avoid the flu. It is specifically encouraged for people over the age of 65 years and all people who are at high risk for developing serious complications from the disease. These high-risk groups include children 6 months to 2 years and people with diabetes, immune suppression, severe forms of anemia and chronic diseases of the heart, lung or kidneys, including asthma. The vaccine is also recommended for women who will be in the second or third trimester of pregnancy during flu season, health care personnel, residents of nursing homes or other chronic-care facilities, children and teenagers who are receiving long-term aspirin therapy, and people who are in close contact with someone in a high-risk group.

Who should not get the flu vaccine?

People who have had previous vaccine-associated allergic reactions should not get the vaccine. Also, people with egg allergies should avoid immunization because the viruses used in the vaccine are grown in hen's eggs. The vaccine may be given in the presence of minor illnesses, but adults with acute febrile illnesses should usually wait until their symptoms abate.

What are the side effects?

The flu vaccine causes no side effects in most people. Less than one-third of those who receive the vaccine have some soreness at the injection site, and about 5 to 10 percent experience mild side effects, such as headache or low-grade fever for about a day after vaccination. Rarely, an allergic reaction may occur among people who have severe allergies to eggs. Since the vaccine is not a live vaccine, it is not possible to get influenza from it.

How often should you get it?

The vaccine should be taken every year because flu viruses are constantly mutating and each year the vaccine is updated to include the most current flu strains. The vaccine should also be taken annually because antibodies produced by a person in response to the vaccine decline over time.

When is the best time to get vaccinated?

The best time to get vaccinated is September to mid-November. However, if you miss your flu shot in November it is still not too late to obtain one. It takes about two weeks after vaccination to develop antibodies against the flu. In the United States, the flu season occurs from about November until April but peak activity usually occurs between late December and early March.

Who shouldnot get the flu vaccine?

People who have had previous vaccine-associated allergic reactions should not get the vaccine. Also, people with egg allergies should avoid immunization because the viruses used in the vaccine are grown in hen's eggs. The vaccine may be given in the presence of minor illnesses, but adults with acute febrile illnesses should usually wait until their symptoms subside.

In 1996, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) published the highly regarded consensus document titled the EMS Agenda for the Future, commonly referred to as the Agenda. This was a federally funded position paper completed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) in conjunction with the National Association of State EMS Directors (NASEMSD). The intent of the Agenda was to create a common vision for the future of EMS. This document was designed for use by government and private organizations at the national, state, and local levels to help guide planning, decision making, and policy regarding EMS. The Agenda addressed 14 attributes of EMS, including the EMS education system.

The Agenda provided the following overall vision for EMS in the future:

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) of the future will be community-based health management that is fully integrated with the overall health care system. It will have the ability to identify and modify illness and injury risks, provide acute illness and injury care and follow-up, and contribute to treatment of chronic conditions and community health monitoring. This new entity will be developed from redistribution of existing health care resources and will be integrated with other health care providers and public health and public safety agencies. It will improve community health and result in a more appropriate use of acute health care resources. EMS will remain the public's emergency medical safety net.

Today's EMS education system is going thorough dramatic and profound changes. In response to extraordinary technological advancements and changes in societal expectations, education is expected to emphasize high-level cognition, problem solving, and the ability to deal with ambiguity and conflicting priorities. The public and employers expect graduates to be competent in a wide range of practical skills and have the ability to adapt to an ever-changing and complex environment.

The public and employers demand that health care education produce graduates who are responsive to the needs of the patient, have excellent communication skills, and are able to adapt to changes in their responsibilities. They demand graduates who are technically competent, socially conscious, and culturally sensitive. In addition to their traditional role as emergency care providers, EMS providers will need to be able to identify and modify illness and injury risks, provide acute illness and injury care and follow-up, and contribute to the treatment of chronic conditions and community health monitoring.

ANSWERS

1. No cause for panic.

So far, swine flu isn't much more threatening than regular seasonal flu.

During the few months of this new flu's existence, hospitalizations and deaths from it seem to be lower than the average seen for seasonal flu, and the virus hasn't dramatically mutated. That's what health officials have observed in the Southern Hemisphere where flu season is now winding down.

Still, more people are susceptible to swine flu and U.S. health officials are worried because it hung in so firmly here during the summer -- a time of year the flu usually goes away.

2. Virus tougher on some.

Swine flu is more of a threat to certain groups -- children under 2, pregnant women, people with health

problems like asthma, diabetes and heart disease. Teens and young adults are also more vulnerable to swine flu. Ordinary, seasonal flu hits older people the hardest, but not swine flu. Scientists think older people may have some immunity from exposure years earlier to viruses similar to swine flu.

3. Wash your hands often and long.

Like seasonal flu, swine flu spreads through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick. Emphasize to children that they should wash with soap and water long enough to finish singing the alphabet song, "Now I know my ABC's..." Also use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

4. Get the kids vaccinated.

These groups should be first in line for swine flu shots, especially if vaccine supplies are limited -- people 6 months to 24 years old, pregnant women, health care workers. Also a priority: Parents and caregivers of infants, people with those high-risk medical conditions previously noted.

5. Get your shots early.

Millions of swine flu shots should be available by October. If you are in one of the priority groups, try to get your shot as early as possible.

Check with your doctor or local or state health department about where to do this. Many children should be able to get vaccinated at school. Permission forms will be sent home in advance.

6. Immunity takes awhile.

Even those first in line for shots won't have immunity until around Thanksgiving.

That's because it's likely to take two shots, given three weeks apart, to provide protection. And it takes a week or two after the last shot for the vaccine to take full effect.

The regular seasonal flu shot should be widely available in September. People over 50 are urged to be among the first to get that shot.

7. Vaccines are being tested.

Health officials presume the swine flu vaccine is safe and effective, but they're testing it to make sure.

The federal government has begun studies in eight cities across the country to assess its effectiveness and figure out the best dose. Vaccine makers are doing their own tests as well.

8. Help! Surrounded by swine flu.

If an outbreak of swine flu hits your area before you're vaccinated, be extra cautious.

Stay away from public gathering places like malls, sports events and churches. Try to keep your distance from people in general. Keep washing those hands and keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and

mouth.

9. What if you get sick?

If you have other health problems or are pregnant and develop flu-like symptoms, call your doctor right away. You may be prescribed Tamiflu or Relenza. These drugs can reduce the severity of swine flu if taken right after symptoms start.

If you develop breathing problems (rapid breathing for kids), pain in your chest, constant vomiting or a fever that keeps rising, go to an emergency room.

Most people, though, should just stay home and rest. Cough into your elbow or shoulder. Stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever breaks. Fluids and pain relievers like Tylenol can help with achiness and fever. Always check with a doctor before giving children any medicines. Adult cold and flu remedies are not for them.

10. No swine flu from barbecue.

You can't catch swine flu from pork -- or poultry either (even though it recently turned up in turkeys in Chile). Swine flu is not spread by handling meat, whether it's raw or cooked.

How do individuals get MRSA?

Individuals "get" MRSA is by contact (direct or indirect) with a person who either has a wound infection, an infection of the respiratory tract, or who is colonized with the bacteria. It can also be spread by Stethoscopes not cleaned between use.

Precautions Medics should follow when they go home?

Hand washing is the most important measure. Hands should always be washed after using the toilet, using household hand soap for at least 15 seconds. If you require continued care at home, you, or whomever is caring for you, should wear gloves when handling body fluids (urine, wound drainage, etc.), when providing care, or contacting surfaces contaminated with body fluids. Disposable items soiled by body fluids (dressings, diapers, used gloves, etc) should be placed in the trash. Good cleaning with soap and water followed by a household disinfectant such as bleach is adequate to disinfect surfaces contaminated with MRSA. Laundry can be done in accordance with manufacturer’s directions using standard detergent. Dishes and utensils can be washed as usual.
